~ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God

In another story of that “tolerant” military Institution, the Air Force Academy, we see that you can have a story in the paper about setting up Satanic altars on the Academy’s grounds, with full support of the Chapel, but write a Bible verse on your door and buddy, you are in big trouble…

The U.S. Air Force Academy responded to recent furor over the removal of a Bible verse from a white board on a cadet’s bedroom door, explaining that the individual holds a leadership position and that officials feared the verse might be an improper promotion of his religious beliefs.

Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson said in a statement provided to TheBlaze that she is “pleased” with the way cadets at the academy have “raised and discussed a recent concern” over the issue, going on to offer the school’s account of what unfolded.

“A religious scripture was displayed outside a dormitory room belonging to a cadet who held a leadership position in the squadron,” Johnson said. “Another cadet prompted a discussion of appropriateness, according to policies that leaders will avoid actual or apparent use of their position to promote their personal religious beliefs to subordinates.”

She described the Bible verse — which read, “I have been crucified with Christ therefore I no longer live, but Christ lives in me” — as being placed below the unnamed cadet’s name on a whiteboard.

Rather than an attack on religious adherence, Johnson explained that the verse was removed after considering the cadet’s leadership role at the academy. She also indicated that the move was voluntarily made by the cadet following discussion over the issue.

“The scripture was below the cadet’s name on a white board and could cause subordinates to doubt the leader’s religious impartiality,” Johnson continued. “With the mentorship of the active duty commanding officer as part of the discussion, the cadet squadron commander raised this potential perception and the cadet voluntarily elected to erase the scripture.”

The superintendent said that the situation provided a learning opportunity for cadets at the Air Force Academy and added that the key to solving and exploring complex issues like this is being able to openly discuss and analyze them when they arise.

Johnson said that she is proud that cadets at the academy have been exploring how to balance religious freedom with “caring leadership that inspires all subordinates.”

The Air Force Academy’s response comes just one day after Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, told TheBlaze that there is a “revolt” underway at the academy over the removal of the Bible verse.

Other cadets have started writing out verses from the Bible and Quran in support

Cadets angry over the decision to remove the verse began posting scripture from the Bible and the Koran on their whiteboards in solidarity, according to Weinstein.

Johnson did not address these claims in the statement provided to TheBlaze.

The comments provided by the academy also don’t mention the Military Religious Freedom, which is taking credit for voicing complaints that led to the removal.

Weinstein told TheBlaze Wednesday that 29 cadets and four faculty and staff members — 26 of whom he described as Catholic or Protestant — disagreed with the verse’s presence and reached out to his organization after the verse was posted on the whiteboard. Weinstein said he then contacted the Air Force Academy with concerns and the verse was subsequently removed.

Additionally, the Air Force Academy didn’t address how it will handle other cadets who have been posting verses from the Bible and Koran. It is unclear how many have participated in this “revolt” against the initial removal of the verse and whether any of these individuals are in leadership positions.

Weinstein told TheBlaze Wednesday that those who put Bible verses on their doors deserve “non-judicial punishment at the very least.”

From reading numerous articles from many sources over the last several years, all branches of the “Amerikan” military are becoming much more hostile toward ‘fundamental CHRISTians’. Specifically – consider the number of briefings that have become public that consider Evangelical Christians often listed as #1 on the list of ‘Terrorist Organizations’ – The following are a very small sample of published articles:

“US Army Labeled Evangelicals as RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS (Apr 13)”

“Awakening Warrior- How The US MILITARY Views GOD As The Enemy (Dec 10)”

“US MILITARY Now ID’s BIBLE Believers As Threat To National Security (Dec 10)”

“US ARMY – Strategic Implications of American MILLENNIALISM (2008)”

I am a Vietnam Vet (3 1/2+ yrs combat duty with 2,800+ combat flight hours) and served 12 1/2 years active duty as a US Army Aviator.
By the Grace of GOD, since shortly after 9/11/01 I’ve been a born again fundamental CHRISTian – so I do not make the following recommendation lightly:
Which is that a truly converted CHRISTian does not voluntarily go on active duty, or into the ‘Reserves’ or ‘National Guard’ of any branch of the US Military – unless they are specifically led by THE ONLY WISE GOD to do so – which will be as a missionary to tell the ‘good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ’ by actions and words to those that do not believe in Him as their personal Saviour!
Read and think what our LORD said in Luke 17:1 – Biblical Prophecy is being fulfilled in this country that is becoming more and more anti-GOD!

HoHum – 8+ months ago and this is now such ‘old news’ – Has that which was written in this article now become ‘the norm’ here in ‘Amerika’?

We truly are living in the Biblically prophesied ‘end-of-the-end times’ when there are such on-going increases of ‘spiritual danger, deception and falling away from’ “the truth” of “the word of the LORD” – which is occurring – RIGHT NOW
– TODAY, AND TOMORROW, AND THE DAY AFTER THAT, AND …

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
(Gen 6:5 [KJV])

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”
(Ps 12:8 [KJV])

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
(Prov 29:2 [KJV])

“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
(Luke 17:1-2 [KJV])

Me thinks that the whole world is becoming exponentially more rapidly ‘as it was in the days of Noah (Noe) and of Lot’ – righteous Judgment by “the LORD JEHOVAH” will come:
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”
(Luke 17:26-29 [KJV])

May many more real ‘Biblical CHRISTians’ be willing to be used by “the Lord God Almighty” to tell others the ‘Good News’ of “the Gospel of Jesus Christ” – REGARDLESS OF THE COST PERSONALLY
– with ‘NO Reserves, NO Retreat, NO Regrets’
– RIGHT NOW – TODAY, AND TOMORROW, AND THE DAY AFTER THAT, …!!!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.:”
(John 3:16-17 [KJV])
